    Viva the CD. There are some places where you can’t get either regular radio or satellite radio. 😔

    Love this!! Unfortunately my CD player died a few years ago in my 1991 Camry (love that car!!). The radio is kinda dicey too, as well as the volume control. No problem. I have a blast reciting my current list of affirmations while I’m driving around, running errands. It works. Lol!!

    Just cranked up Fleetwood Mac ‘Silver Springs’ on my home spun cassette. It’s not on Rumors where it should be. Heading North over Yarnell Hill, making great time.
